More likely, it's supposed to get us either a name or an object - "brady" "hall" "football", etc. it's not going to be so simple as to be someone who is playing in a Canton in the near future.

"Good or evil?" seems to be ambiguous. What's something that can be either, depending on the situation? Anti-heroes? Or maybe something that's neither good nor evil? This phrase is the toughest nut to crack, I think.

"ascension linked to versions of the Sabbath"... I like the logic of someone who is known for a cover of a Sabbath song, but I'm also of the opinion that this part of the clue is likely our confirming clause - that is to say that we know we have it when we get this part right.

From Wikipedia "His full birth name was "Alexander Michael Tahquitz Ebert". His father took one of his son's names, Tahquitz, from his favorite climbing rock (ascension means to move upwards in climbing and mountaineering). Alex later on discovered that the name means "demon" in a Native American language."

"Verions of the Sabbath"

Black Sabbath sang a song with Ian Gillian called "Zero the hero"

right or wrong... way to use all parts of the clue.I hate when people guess and then go... "well half the clue doesn't work for this but oh well"

Black Label Society covered a black sabbath song last year on the album "The Song Remains the Same", Zakk Wylde has become successful thanks to Ozzy's help. Zakk Wylde has a solo album called Book of Shadows, and the first track is "Between Heaven and Hell" I don't know how Canton-bound has anything to do with it though.

First Time Poster.

The Black Keys are from Akron Ohio which is near Canton. Canton is the direction of Bonaroo. Ascension linked to the version of the sabbath because their name is Black Keys which is a version of the Sabbath.

I like this, but when I think of someone who is "Canton-Bound" I think of someone who is on there way but not there yet. Shannon Sharpe was inducted back in August, so he is already there.

What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.

I like the Magnetic Zeros breakdown.

My other theory: Vampire WeekendCanton = as in NY (or Contra) -- weekend (the sabbath/Sunday the second or ascending day) -- vampire - a Twilight good or evil joke reference (as the clues have been wont to do before)

I'm still digging the Edward Sharpe reasoning, but that would make The Black Keys at Roo three years in a row. I don't see that happening.

February 5, 2013: Toro y Moi in New Orleans
March 10, 2013: Starfucker in Pensacola, FL
March 25, 2013: Hot Chip in New Orleans
April 19, 2013: Crystal Castles in New Orleans
June 13-16, 2013: 5th year at Bonnaroo!

The Black Keys makes sense with "Ascension" meaning a rise to a Sunday Headliner?

A quick search for bands of Canton Ohio fielded a couple interesting results. Marilyn Manson was born in Canton Ohio. It is also the place where the bands (christian) Reliant K and (indie) Lovedrug were formed.

There is your good and evil a christian band and then the bad there is Marilyn Manson!

marilyn manson could make sense. im not a big fan but u have the contreversy certainly many people think hes evil. hes from canton and has had great success and influence on the industry (arguabbly enough to make the rnr hof). this doesnt really work with the ascending and sabbath thing which I acknowledge but it is possible that those can apply to anyone if it means something like they will be playing saturday or sunday
